Photoexcited organic chromophores appended to molecular qubits can serve as a source of spin initialization or multilevel qudit generation for quantum information applications. So far, this approach has been primarily investigated in chromophore-stable radical systems. Here, we extend this concept to a linked oxovanadium(IV) porphyrin-free-base porphyrin dimer.

However, its clinical potential is limited by serum and cytosolic carnosinases, which significantly reduce its bioavailability. Based on that, different research groups have worked on the development of new strategies able not only to prevent its rapid metabolization but also to improve its distribution and specific targeting.

At the same time, it is important to determine the progression of the cell along the cell cycle, as cell cycle regulation is crucial for the control of cell proliferation and oncogenesis. Here, we present a super-resolution imaging-based method to analyze single cell nuclei sorted according to specific phases of the cell cycle.

Methods: Data from the Italian IBD cohort (N=220) are presented here.
